My Zivan NG3 charger went out a few weeks ago. My batteries went very
low. I tried it today and it seems to be charging since the green
light in the dash is flashing green. The counter under the green
light is going down though. It started at 0 for some reason and is
now at -20. Is this normal? Should I stop charging?

If at some point the batteries got low enought that the AH meter wasn't getting any power it would reset to 0 when it did get power and thus the -20 would not be unheard of during charging. To be safe, you might check nattery voltages while the car is charging or the pack voltage by pulling the big Anderson connector that connects to the controller under the front hood.

Helping to get a 1998 Solectria with a new gel battery pack running again. Everything works, drives, except the amp-hour meter doesn't seem to be working. I replaced the fuse in the amp-hour counter, but the display is still blank. Any suggestions on how to toubleshoot this issue?

The control unit for this is under the steering column in a black box. If
it smells like a burned PC board, then check the fuse and resistor in the
shrink tubing going to the box. Also, on the board in the box, the
connection of the pack voltage have traces right next to each other on this
board. I cut the tract and jumped the cut trace with a wire. It hasn't
failed since.
